Take a look at this detailed tutorial by Anjellyjoy for instructions on how to submit a deviation using the deviantART Groups system. In deviantHEART, you can submit to both the Gallery and Collections!

What do the folder names mean?topI don't know what folder to submit to!

Remember that all art must be positive! Please see our Gallery Structure for an overview of all our galleries and what can be submitted there.

Why was my submission declined?topWhy didn't I get a response when my submission was declined?

Please take a moment to review the submission guide. Because art is so subjective, we use our best judgement through a voting system where each admin votes yes or no to determine if your piece meets the generally accepted criteria for our group gallery. We do try to reply to explain why we decline some pieces, but in some cases, the voting is too close for a specific reason to be given. You do have the option to appeal the decision by sending the group a note.

You can help deviantHEART by volunteering, submitting positive works, and by sharing your knowledge and experiences with the people around you. A positive attitude is all it takes! To learn about volunteering, you can visit the volunteer's guide. To learn more about submitting art, you can visit the submission guide.

What do we do in the chatroom?topWhy should I bother visiting a chat event?

The chatroom is a live meeting place for our group. You can ask on-the-spot questions to the volunteers and moderators, suggest ideas and get immediate feedback, or request changes you would like to see. Sometimes, we give away points to members who come to the scheduled chat events, and we also love to play both Eye Spy and Heart2Art. You can read more about those in the activity guide.

You sure can! You can host a contest here, or you can submit a blog about a contest you are hosting elsewhere. To learn more about submitting a blog in the group, please read the blog guide. To share your idea, you can send us a note!

If you are having problems with another user, block them. Should the deviant persist after being blocked, report it to the Help Desk. Asking other users to get involved could get you suspended or banned. If you are having problems or see problems with a member of the group or chatroom, please contact us via note with links or screenshots of the incident so it can be addressed. If someone is taking your work without permission, you need to report the work to dA with the "Report Deviation" link found on every deviation. You can also contact one of the many anti-theft groups OR directly contact the help desk if it is multiple works. deviantHEART will not make reports for you or get involved.

Run for the hills! ... Just kidding. Just send us a note and tell us where you found it or leave a comment on the blog. If you are a volunteer or moderator, you can be really proactive and just edit the blog and fix it. Lantiis is a math geek, so spelling is as complex to her as statistical analysis and number theory is to most of the English majors!
